TESLA TESLA’S MODEL Y - TW0 ASSEMBLY LINES
Your rapid and cost-effective automotive
and assembly line solution, engineered
and manufactured by Sprung Structures.
About the project
THE ASK
Already a customer, Tesla reached out to Sprung to provide
additional assembly line production capacity for their new Model
3 vehicle. And they needed it immediately.
Known for their innovation and quick problem solving, Tesla
needed to find a fast solution to expand their large production
line - a standard automotive solution just couldn’t be built
in the time-frame needed. So, the idea to erect a Sprung
structure in the Fremont factory parking lot was born.
HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED
The Sprung team delivered and completed construction in
just 19 days. A full assembly line was constructed inside the
structure while the structure was being erected. This meant
Model 3 production could start while the finishing touches on
the structure were completed.
Additionally, this facility was built at a fraction of the cost of a
traditional automotive assembly line and is now a permanent
structure at Tesla’s Fremont factory.
“No standard automotive solution could be built in
time,” said Musk, “so we created a new solution.
It is working and has slightly higher quality
than the more traditional general assembly line.
Perhaps most surprising is that the total cost of
production in the sprung tent is lower.”

Elon Musk announced at the 2021 Shareholder Meeting
that the company aims to increase production capacity at
the Fremont Factory by 50% in the next couple of years.
This whole thing that you see here was a pretty
miraculous effort by the team to create a general
assembly line out of nothing in three weeks. It
was life or death,” said Musk. “Those betting
against the company were right by all conventional
standards that we would fail. But they just did not
count on this unconventional situation of creating
an assembly line in a parking lot in a tent.”
